Words Pt 2 Flashcards
mental lexicon
words that you know that are stores in long term memory
phonemic transposition
mixed phoneme
phonemic repetition
individual phoneme in terms of sound
- unintended alliteration
how are words stored in long term memory
they are stored as the lemma
derivational suffix
changes meaning and grammatical category of the word (end of lemma)
- ex) agree, agreement, agreeable
inflectional suffix
take something from singular to plural
thematic relation
words associated with the concept
- ex) when you hear dog you might think of bone
taxonomic relation
aware that it’s a horse but are aware its different from other four legged animals that might pop up in your head
network model
hierarchial model that proposes that semantic memory was organized in terms of hierarchial categories
spreading activation model
word association - when you say a word it triggers associated memories
semantic priming - other words prime you to say a specific word that is associated with the words before
picture-word interference task
person responds the fastest when there is a thematic relationship that facilitates the responding
- the word whiskers under a picture of a cat
dual lexicon model
- dorsal stream - motor related areas in the frontal lobe
- ventral stream - convert sound to meaning
where are thematic relations processed
left hemisphere
where is semantic interference processed
right hemisphere; when the difference is broad
semantic representation
what you intend to say
lexical access
hearing different sounds that are coming in, we are matching them to a familiar sound. only processing sounds, nothing about meaning
lexical selection
decoding individual words based on collection of sounds
lexical integration
certain words have different meanings in different situations
sentence superiority effect
people are quicker at identifying words when it is presented in the context of a sentence vs presented alone
word frequency effect
words that are more common have a way of priming our attention
feedforward model
look at diagram
interactive model
proposes there is interplay between thinking of the words and saying the words
